Ariana - Myofunctional Therapist

Ari Grieco is a compassionate Myofunctional Therapist from Venezuela, where she earned her dental degree from La Universidad del Zulia in 2017. She is certified in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy through the Academy of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (AOMT) and is passionate about helping children achieve optimal growth and development through a functional and holistic approach.
 
Her journey into myofunctional therapy began after observing frequent relapses in patients following orthodontic treatments, tonsillectomies, and frenulectomies. This sparked a deep commitment to addressing the root causes of these issues rather than just the symptoms.
 
Ari specializes in improving tongue posture, correcting swallowing patterns, and enhancing airway function—three foundational elements of healthy orofacial development. Her work has a positive impact on oral habits, breathing, sleep quality, speech, facial growth, and overall health.
 
She strongly believes in early, personalized intervention and is committed to working as part of an interdisciplinary team alongside other healthcare providers. Her goal is to ensure that every patient receives comprehensive support for their overall well-being and is empowered to achieve their full potential.
